“We are very excited to tour US and Canada for the first time in November/December, ” commented WINTERSUN mstermind Jari Mäenpää. “We´ve had lots of requests from the fans before, but finally we are able to come there and kick some ass with new material from the Time I album and of course play the old stuff too!
